Mistaken For Strangers

Intriguing self-referential rock doc about The National ...that quickly runs out of steam.

Not Waving But Drowning

Decent debut from Devyn Waitt, capturing a solid old school 90s indie vibe.

Captain America

The Winter Soldier

Solid sequel that manages to stay away from too much CGI hokum for a 70s vibe.

They Want My Soul

Richie Cunningham is back and even better than before. Instant classic with so many hits.

Night Moves

Classy slice of 70s film noir, with a fantastic, effortless script and a star turn from Gene Hackman.

Halliwell says: Apparently a Chandlerish mystery, this is really a Pinterish audience-teaser with obsessions about communication and the meaning of life. A smart-ass entertainment for eager trendies.*

RIPD

Disarmingly competent - despite being an utter derivative of Men In Black, Ghostbusters and more.

Sorcerer

Dull 'existential' 70s remake of tight 50s classic. Friedkin remains one of the most over-rated directors.

Halliwell says: Why anyone should have wanted to spend $20 million on a remake of The Wages Of Fear, do it badly, and give it a misleading title is anybody's guess. The result is dire.

Love

Interesting low-budget sci fi, that has much to offer despite the ambition outstripping the execution in places.

Medium Cool

Confident genre-bending 60s cult classic, that's running a little low on plot.

Halliwell says: Stimulating if overlong comment on the quality of life in the sixties, immaculately made and with a rather effective though obvious twist ending.**
